It's funny... I read this and so much has changed. I'm not single. I now have 3 kids.

Lily lives with Emily and her mom.

Kitty is gone (that was a horrible day). The last couple years of her life were a gift.
She was almost dead and hadn't eaten for over a week. I brought home a pork sandwich and
Kitty ate most of it. Then she started eating other stuff again and she lived another 2
years. For as crabby as she could be, when the kids came, she was always very good with
them and very patient. She was a great little friend.

Business has never been better. :-)

Trying to find a house or a place to build and there's just nothing on the market. It's weird.

That's enough for now.

Me:

This is about me. I am single, successful and bored enough to update my website! I have a
daughter who is the most amazing little person I know. She's smart, beautiful and very
well-behaved. I like to listen to music when I am working and listen to pretty much
anything. I like to get outside in the summer (golfing, working in the yard, etc.), but
don't do it enough. I also like watching movies. I have a simple home theatre system
and enjoy watching movies with it. Sometimes it's better than going to the movie theater
(more privacy and can pause). I am a huge Packers fan and never miss a game. I don't
follow the rest of the league that much (not enough time). I love pizza, burgers and chicken.
I make a pretty good roast and bbq ribs. I also make homemade mac & cheese, taco hotdish,
fettucine alfredo and other good stuff. The best pizza in the world comes from a place
called Drag's in Rice Lake.
I make awesome peanut butter and bacon sandwiches - I have a special recipe for them.
Beyond that... pretty normal.

My dog:

This is my dog. Her name is Lily. Emily wants to change her name to 6 since she is my 6th pet.

My cat:

This is my cat. Her name is Kitty. I got stuck with her. Cats
are not my favorite pet - I am more of a dog person, but she has
grown on me. She is about 13 years old now. I saw a TV show that
said cats are smart and love to learn tricks. I knew she was
very smart, but wasn't sure about tricks. I had taught dogs tricks
in the past, so this couldn't be too hard. Wrong. It was difficult,
but after spending time with her, she proved willing to learn many
things. Her basic tricks are to sit, stay, lay down, turn around,
stand on her back legs and a few others. She also knows many words
and phrases. Imagine a cats life and the objects and actions that
are important to them. She knows food, water, treat, out, window,
gopher, "time for bed", bye, and a bunch of others that I can't
think of right now. She is an inside cat, but knows that when she
is allowed to go out, she is to stay within certain boundaries in
the back yard. When she gets beyond those and realizes it, she comes
right back. That took some time to make her understand, but she does.
Several people have pointed out that she acts like a dog. I guess that's
because I grew up with dogs and trained her in the same way. She
is a pretty good cat and doesn't get into too much trouble. The only
thing that is rather annoying is she likes to open the cabinet doors
in the bathrooms and push out the drawers. Then she crawls out through
the drawers.

My house:

This is my house. I bought it in 2005. I like it. It's got a lot of privacy and the woods out back is nice.

My car:

This is my car. It is a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with all the possible options, except
the supercharger. I really like it. The color is called "blue/black". In the right
light it is very hard to determine the actual color of the car. I have the polished
3-spoke wheels. I liked them better than the 5-spoke wheels. Previous to this car,
I had a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. I really liked that car, so I got another one
when the time came. I am happy with that decision so far.

My chair:

This is my chair. It is a Herman Miller Aeron. They can be found at the
Herman Miller Store. It is an awesome chair!
I originally got a size B, but it was just not right. I replaced it with a size C and that turned
out to be perfect. It was tough to get used to because the back reclines independently from the seat,
but after a couple of weeks it became hard to use a normal chair! I highly recommend them if you
have a spare $700.

My TV:

This is my Widescreen TV (no more watching movies with annoying black bars!). This is from
Best Buy's description: Samsung 47" 16:9 Widescreen Rear-Projection HDTV Monitor with
2-Tuner Picture-In-Picture. This has been a good addition to my home theatre system.

My camera:

This is my camera. It is a Canon Digital Rebel (EOS 300D). It's awesome!
I have a 70-300mm telephoto macro lens for it, too. Good for getting distance shots and cool close-ups.
